‘Indenture being a feoffment by Robert Huggeford to Richard Reynald, otherwise called Richard Ryvell and Margery, his wife, and the heirs begotten between them, with reversion in default to himself, of a tenement in the suburb of Warwick, at the head of the great bridge, in the street leading from the bridge to St. Nicholas' church wherein William Deyster dwells between the Aven and Walter Pecche's tenement. Witnesses:—John Brome, and others (named). Warwick, Sunday after St. Valentine, 11 Henry IV. Seal (a buck's head, cabossed; with, between the attires, 'r,' and below 'Huggeforde'). Memorandum endorsed of enrolment on the dorse of the Close Roll in February of the said year’. 229 Carpenter lists Robert Hugford of Emscote as a member of the Coventry landed gentry last recorded in 1411. 230 had died by March 28 th 1416 and the manor of Emscote had passed to her son and heir Thomas Huggeford. 231 His wife Joyce A document dated 1411 has been summarised as: ‘Richard son and heir of John Ryvell, tenant in reversion of lands in Buckby to William Attulburgh of Coventry, merchant, tenant for life: Licence to grant leases’. 232 However, what appears to be the same document is presented as follows in BHOL: ‘A. 8446. Indenture being a licence by Richard son and heir of Joan Ryvell of Bukby, the reversioner, to William Attulburgh of Coventre, merchant, the tenant for life of lands &c. in Bukby, co. Northampton, to grant leases for term of his, the said William's, life, or at will, with provision contained in them that, in whatever year the said William should chance to die (ab hac ralle miserie transire), the said tenants might cut, &c. and carry their crops then in the ground to the grange, 'le Shepene' and 'le Heyhous' of the manor of Bukby, there to be ground &c., paying to him, the said John, or his heirs, the rents they were used to pay to the said William. Witnesses:— John Goot, mayor, Nicholas Dodenhale and Peter Weston, bailiffs of Coventry and others (named). Coventre, 4 February, 12 Henry IV. Seal, broken’. 233 In 1412 Richard Revell is recorded as leasing property, as follows: 234 ‘Indenture of demise by Richard Ryvell of Geydon, and Margery his wife, to Robert Webbe of Derset, and Katharine his wife, for their lives, from Lady Day, A.D. 1415, of a messuage in Chepyngderset, at 5s. rent. Monday after the Purification, 13 Henry IV’. In 1417 he is recorded as appointing attorneys, as follows: 235 ‘Letter of general attorney from Richard Ryvell of Geydon to William Attulburgh, the elder, of Coventre, and Thomas Ryvell, of Edmuscote. Coventre, Wednesday after St. Peter and St. Paul the Apostles, 4 Henry V’. The identity of Thomas Revell is uncertain, but discussed more extensively below. In May 1423 Richard Ryvell received from William Attilburgh numerous documents that once belonged to Richard’s mother and which relate to her holding of the manor of Buckeby, 236 as follows: ‘A. 10827. Indenture, being the memorandum of the delivery, 25 May, 10 Henry V, in the presence of John Esturton, mayor of Coventre, Henry Breux, and Robert Melburn, bailiffs, Richard Southam, master of the gild of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and St. John the Baptist, of Coventre, Thomas Wildegrys, master of the gild of Corpus Christi and St. Nicholas, of Coventre, and others (named), by William Attilburgh of Coventre to Richard Ryvell of the same, of fourteen score of charters, writings and muniments, sealed and unsealed, touching the manor of Buckeby, co. Northampton, of the inheritance of the said Richard; which charters, &c. he had by the delivery of Joan his late wife. Seal.’. In 1424 the Coventry Leet Book makes its first reference to Richard Revell resident Erle Strete, Coventry, for which he is taxed 1s-0d. 237 This has increased to 1s-8d by 1430, 238 and 2s-0d by 1434. 239 He is listed as ‘gentleman’ when taxed in 1436. 240 229 A. 12059. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64443 230 Locality and polity: a study of Warwickshire landed society, 1401–1499.

It is clear from a demise dated August 20 th 1428 that his wife Margery has died, as follows: 241 ‘Demise by Richard Ryvell of Coventre, gentleman, and Joan, daughter and heiress of the said Richard and Margery his late wife, to William Noote of Warrewyk, and Margaret his wife, for sixty years, of a tenement and garden in Warrewyk, in the street of St. Nicholas the bishop, at the end of the bridge, extending to the water culled 'Avoue.' 20 August, 6 Henry VI’. This must correspond to the property which Richard Ryvell acquired in 1411, see above. In 1428 an inquisition relating to Long Buckby records ‘De Ricardo Ryvell pro tercia parte ud. f. ibidem, quondam Willelmi Ryvell. Subs. ij.8. mj.rj.’, 242 which clearly refers to this individual, and it must be this property that he leases in 1431, as follows: 243 ‘A. 9852. Indenture made on the morrow of St. Vincent the Martyr, 9 Henry VI, being a demise by Richard Rewell, 'jentilman,' of Buckeby, to John Underwode, Thomas Mone, John Robyn, William Tynche, William Blaby, and William Rote, of the same, of all the lands, &c., adjacent to his manor in all the fields of Buckeby, with two crofts 'in the Westzardis,' reserving to himself a hill called 'Rowelhylle,' with the 'frisses' below it (cum omnibus firsis sub predicta monte); also demise to them of his great barn and 'long hous'; term, six years from Michaelmas; rent, 6½ marks, &c. Fragments of seals’. It would appear that this is a continuation of his maternal grandfather William Revell’s practice of leasing out his manorial lands to a consortium of his tenants, one of those named here (John Robyn ) appearing to be a descendent of William Robyn named in 1378. A feoffment dated 1438 implies that he has married second an Agnes, as follows: 244 ‘Feoffment by William Osbarne of Asscheby Ligger, 'gentilman,' and John Osbarne of Lilleburne to Richard Ryvell of Bukkeby, esquire, and Agnes his wife and his heirs assigns of the manor of Bukkeby, with the land &c. in Bukkeby which they had by his gift. Monday after the Finding of the Holy Cross, 16 Henry VI.’. Ashby St Ledgers is some four miles west and Lilbourne some seven miles north of Long Buckby. On April 18 th 1449 a ‘Richard Rybell’ plausibly this individual is recorded as making a grant, as follows: 245 (37) John Heton, Esquire, John Grene, Richard Rybell and William Pere, give, grant, and confirm to Thomas Wermyngton, of Coventre, and Robert Wermyngton, of Haverbergh, a messuage in Haverbergh, which they lately held conjointly with Laurence Kay, now deceased, by the gift and feoffment of the aforesaid Thomas Wermington and Robert Wermington, by a deed of feesimple (per cartam simplicis feodi), to hold, etc., etc. Witnesses : William Neell, John Laughton, John Person, John Stonton, Richard Stonton, and others. Dated at Haverbergh, 27 Henry VI., * die Veneris proximo post festum Pasche’. ‘Haverbergh’ is probably Market Harborough. In 1455 there is a record of a ‘Court of Richard Ryvell, esq., and Agnes his wife’ that mentions Buckby [Northamptonshire], Broadwell and Leamington Hastings [Warwickshire]. 246 Broadwell and Leamington Hastings are some 12 and 14 miles west of Long Buckby, respectively. Agnes Revell is recorded in 1460 as widowed. Richard’s children are dealt with in Part 3, but see also Thomas Revell, below. An obscure Thomas Ryvell of Edmuscote known also as Reynald and of Bukby ?–1388–1417–? There is a reference in 1408 to a Thomas Ryvell of Edmescote as follows: ‘Confirmation by Richard son and heir of Joan, daughter of William Ryvell, of a grant by Richard Southard and John Happesford, of Coventre, merchants, Thomas Ryvell of Edmescote, and John Everdon of Coventre, 'hosyer,' to William 240 Locality and polity: a study of Warwickshire landed society, 1401–1499.
